The CEO's Wife Is A Demon God's Daughter
598 I Can't Marry You
Tristan and Zhen-Zhen exchanged meaningful glances with one another. They knew that Alveena wanted to clear things with Brandon first.
She didn't want to bring Andrew and introduce him to her parents because she was being considerate of Brandon's feelings.
She couldn't continue this party but she didn't want to disrespect the Cullens Family. Brandon would be hurt if she stood him up tonight just because Andrew proposed to her.
The Cullens and the Sy would become a laughingstock once this engagement party was ruined. They hastily announced the engagement of Brandon and Alveena. Invited lots of guests and close friends including the media.
Alveena didn't know how to save the face of her family and the Cullens once she broke off this engagement. Aside from that, Alveena was feeling so guilty and sorry for Brandon.
She wanted to apologize and talk to him first before telling her parents and the Cullens that she changed her mind. She couldn't marry Brandon.
"Go to the rooftop. Alveena is there. I think she also wants to talk to you," Zhen-Zhen informed Brandon.
"Thank you," Brandon mumbled softly before leaving them in a hurry.
He didn't waste his time as he wanted to see Alveena and make sure she was fine.
'What is she doing on the rooftop? Don't tell me she is trying to commit suicide?' Brandon was having wild thoughts.
Tristan and Zhen-Zhen just watched Brandon as he took the elevator.
"Tristan, if Andrew and Alveena marry each other, it only means that the Sy and the Davis will be connected. We might see Clifford often. He will become Andrew's brother-in-law. How do you feel about this?"
Tristan was stunned for a moment hearing this question from Zhen-Zhen. After a while, he exhaled sharply before answering her.
"I don't know. But I cannot deny the fact that I am still mad at him for what he had done to you and for trying to break us apart."
"However, I will try to act civil towards Clifford for the sake of my brother and Alveena. I just hope he already gave up on pestering us and creating conflict between us," Tristan added.
Zhen-Zhen smiled faintly. "We never know. This will serve as an opportunity for Clifford and you to get closer and become friends, especially if the Davis and the Sy will be connected through Andrew's and Alveena's marriage."
Tristan pouted his lips. "Wifey, even though you ended your friendship with Clifford, you still don't give up the thought of Clifford and I becoming friends."
Zhen-Zhen nodded her head while giggling. Tristan just pinched her nose. His wife still wanted Clifford and him to reconcile with each other.
"Hmm. So what should we do now? My brother succeeded in his proposal. So what can we do to help the couple not to create a big scandal? Sigh, the Miller will not stand still once they learn about this," Tristan said, expressing his concern for his brother and Alveena.
"For now, let's buy them time. Brandon and Alveena need to talk. They are the stars of tonight's party. It's just a matter of time that guests will know that something is wrong if they don't see Alveena and Brandon in the venue. Alveena wants to settle things first with Brandon."
Tristan nodded his head with a playful smile on his face.
"Alright! I think it's time to gatecrash the party. Let's divert their attention first," Tristan said excitedly, extending his hand to Zhen-Zhen.
Zhen-Zhen gladly accepted his hand. They were now walking towards the venue with their entangled hands.

Meanwhile, inside the venue, the guests already noticed that the party hadn't started officially yet. They didn't see the couple inside the venue.
The Cullens and the Sy looked uneasy and anxious.
"What is happening? Where are Brandon and Alveena? When are they going to start the program?" One of the guests started talking about them.
"Yes, I am also wondering. I saw Brandon a while ago but I didn't see Alveena yet."
"Something was off with the Cullens and Sy tonight. Are they troubled by something?" Another guest said, observing Alveena's parents and Brandon's parents who were having a serious conversation.
They were still talking when two people entered the venue. Everyone gasped in surprise when they recognized the couple who had just arrived.
"Tristan Davis and his beautiful wife… what are they doing here?"
"Oh my gosh, are they also invited here? But how come? Clifford Sy and Tristan Davis are in conflict. Just a few days ago, Tristan trespassed at the Sy Corp Building, punching and attacking Clifford."
"Are they trying to create a commotion here? Did they come to ruin the party?"
"Oh, this is the first time I see Lillie Davis in person. Indeed, she is like a goddess. She is more beautiful in person than in those photos."
Since they already caught the attention of everyone inside, others had stopped talking about Brandon and Alveena. They were more intrigued about Tristan and Zhen-Zhen.
"What is the reason they came here?"
Mr. and Mrs. Sy also noticed their presence.
"That is Tristan Davis! Who invited him here? How dare he show his face here?" Mr. Sy asked his wife. He got mad at Tristan after the incident in Clifford's office.
He couldn't accept that Tristan Davis beat his son. He wanted to sue Tristan but Clifford had decided not to pursue the incident further.
"Calm down, Honey. Let's talk to them peacefully. We don't want to create a commotion here," Mrs. Sy said, trying to calm her husband down.
Tristan and Zhen-Zhen saw Mr. and Mrs. Sy. The husband and wife walked over to approach them.
"Good evening Mr. and Mrs. Sy! Forgive us for our unexpected appearance. My husband and I are here to talk to you. Can you give us a few minutes of your time?" Zhen-Zhen asked them politely.
Mr. and Mrs. Sy exchanged meaningful glances with one another. They didn't expect that Zhen-Zhen and Tristan would be so polite while talking to them.
"Okay, let's talk," Mr. Sy agreed.

Meanwhile, Brandon had already reached the rooftop. He saw the man with a mask, standing at the door as if he was guarding it.
"Where are you going? You are not allowed here!" Mark stopped Brandon.
But Brandon just walked past him. Mark grabbed his shoulder, not allowing him to enter.
"I said you are not allowed here," Mark said firmly.
"Don't stop me! I have to see my fiancee! She is here right now!" Brandon yelled at him, removing Mark's hand and pushing him away.
Mark and Brandon were about to throw punches at each other when suddenly the door of the rooftop swung open. Andrew and Alveena emerged from it.
"Alveena!" Brandon ran in her direction and hugged her. He didn't recognize Andrew yet since he was wearing his mask.
Andrew had agreed on Alveena's suggestion. He listened to her request. He respected her decision since she didn't want to hurt Brandon further.
"What did you do here? I am so worried about you. I tried to find you on every floor of this hotel. It turned out you were just here." Brandon said with his worried tone.
Alveena could see that Brandon was drenched in sweat. She didn't mean to make him worry. Now, she became more guilty as she felt his genuine concern for her.
"Brandon, I'm sorry! I am really sorry," Alveena said, apologizing to him.
Andrew signaled Mark to follow him. He wanted to give Alveena and Brandon some privacy.
Honestly, Andrew felt grateful to Brandon. He knew that he truly cared about Alveena. He was the one who comforted Alveena in the City of Cyrus when he made her cry.
Though he was his competitor, he felt indebted to him. Because of Brandon, he realized how much Alveena meant to him.
Brandon was the one who triggered his jealousy, making Andrew realized that Alveena was so important to him. So, he was thankful for Brandon's presence.
'I hope he can find his own happiness as well and meet an amazing woman who will love him back,' Andrew thought to himself before leaving Alveena and Brandon.
When Andrew left, Alveena and Brandon broke the hug.
"Don't apologize to me, Alvee. The most important thing for me is that you are safe! You scared me to death, Alveena. I thought something bad happen to you."
Alveena shook her head. Her eyes filled with complex emotions as she looked at him. Her heart was also hurting knowing that she would break Brandon's heart tonight.
"Brandon, there is something I want to tell you. I hope you will understand me and forgive me."
Brandon just looked at Alveena confusedly. When he met her gaze, he had a nagging feeling that Alveena would tell him something that would make him sad.
But he was willing to listen. "Just tell me, Alvee."
"Brandon, you are a good man. I am so grateful for the love and genuine concern for me. But I'm sorry. I can't marry you."
